Your first step is to determine where the moisture is coming from that caused the mold to grow in the first place. Mold needs .6 water content or sustained 60% plus humidity to thrive. Unless you control the moisture, you will never control the mold. You need to immediately start some negative ventilation to the exterior to keep all the airborne nasty stuff exhausting to the outside. Only then can you evaluate what is "growin up the walls". Panelling can't be salvaged. If it got wet enough to grow mold, it's compromised and needs to be removed. you may be able remediate this yourself, but my first call would be to my homeowners insurance company. Spraying it with bleach and then kilz isn't going to cut it if it's as you describe it.
